Imagine a place where you can
write about anything on your mind,
where you can read the thoughts
of hundreds of creative-minded
(or even technical-minded)
individuals, and rise through the
ranks of writers worldwide.
Now imagine getting paid for it. At Hel'um, that's exactly what
happens. Hel'um is a next-generation Web site that combines
social networking with blogging, journalism and every other type of
writing you can imagine, and encourages involvement through
small payments through PayPal.

At Hel'um, (pronounced like "Helium," the lighter-than air element for
which it is named) you can write about everything from philosophy to
fashion. Articles are given a category and subcategory, so that the
site is easy to contribute to and browse.

Here's where it gets unique: each title is not limited to one article.
That is, if you've got a better idea on a topic that has already been
covered, you still have the chance to write about it. Then, your article
is sent to the "rate" section, where it is paired with another article
under the same title, and an anonymous user chooses which article
is superior.

House of Leaves
House of Leaves is a book that
is becoming a widely popular
read. It is not an easy read and
some of the book has to be
deciphered, but its mystery and
great detail leaves you
mesmerized. The basic story is
about a man who makes a
video documentary of the
house where he and his family
reside. In the house they
explore an infinite mix corridors
and windowless rooms. The
book is a psychological thrill
that causes readers to ponder
deep questions.
